Yeah sadly I know! I think this week might be when it starts picking up. I got all 3 rejections in the same week which was 3 weeks ago so been a drought of responses.

Mine were UBS, MS and Nomura for you guys wanting to know.
Applied to all places but have only heard back from ICAP so far, hopefully the "no news is good news" theory is correct.

Can I ask you what did you hear back from ICAP and how long after applying?

It was an interview, and I heard back after about a week of applying in late October.

Well done mate. Your hard work should pay off. If I were you if you have no interest in spending 2+ years in the back office and risking not making it to trading only crude don't bother applying their application is so long and you can;t save it once you have started.
Big 4 open?
sent off 13 so far - got another 6 to go. Managed to network my way onto a potential 2 week paid summer internship at a boutique ER house - waiting for the interview email...
